The Giant Mine Murders

In 1992 one of the worst mass murders in Canadian history took place in Yellowknife, the capital of Northwest Territories, in Canada. In the midst of what was already a violent clash between management and workers, a lockout and strike, nine men who were working as replacement workers died when their rail car hit a bomb. The end result was that a man would confess and then take back his confession. The bomb was deliberately planted and nine men lost their lives as a direct result of that.
